Trail Guide to the Scriptures: 1 Peter

Trail Guide to the Scriptures: 1 Peter is your step-by-step guide to traveling the path of 1 Peter and uncovering the treasures it holds: traveling its twists and turns, climbing its challenging sections, being awed by its breathtaking views, and letting it form and inspire you.

With Reverend Shane Bishop - pastor, history nerd, regular guy, and fellow traveler just like you - as your guide, you will better understand the landscape of 1 Peter, see things you might have missed while reading on your own, and feel more confident navigating its pages.

Written to new converts in the early church who were learning how to withstand persecution, 1 Peter holds deep wisdom for our modern times where there is more pressure than ever to comply and conform to the culture around you. You will learn how to live peacefully in a society that thinks differently from you; find perspective, encouragement, and hope for when being a Christian is challenging, countercultural, and misunderstood; and hold onto eternal hope when your faith comes with a cost.

Part commentary, part historical nonfiction, part story that you can't put down, Trail Guide to the Scriptures take you verse-by-verse through a book of the Bible while showing you what it means for your life today. With each book broken into "episodes" that pull you into the plot, you will discover how engaging and exciting Scripture can be and learn what it says for yourself and how it applies to your life today.

Get ready to reach new heights in your faith and find encouragement to hold onto Jesus no matter what the world throws your way.
